Teaming Up with My Unhinged Ex-Boyfriend [Infinite]

[Mad team leader and high-combat-power actor gong x long-haired, aloof, highly intelligent beauty shou]

[Instance 1: “A Family of Three” cleared]

[Instance 2: “Wedding Day” in progress]

As the head of the Shi family, Shi Zhiyi was calm and rational, had no interest in romance, and put the family's interests above all else. He had been locked in a struggle with Qi Lian, whom he had known since childhood, for a full ten years.

“Kill me. Right now.”

Later, they met again in an instance. Qi Lian discovered that beneath the other's cool, aloof mask was a more genuine Shi Zhiyi, one who could drive him mad with desire.

Qi Lian thought Shi Zhiyi wouldn't really kill him.

But this time, the other man plunged the sword in his hand into Qi Lian's chest without hesitation.

In an instant, blood soaked his clothes.

Shi Zhiyi thought:

But now they had become
